All I have to say is #2 pencils man! We need to ban those viciously dangerous weapons!
As you have have heard, knives are the new guns, as far as British scare media is concerned.
A comment on the article that they posted: "There needs to be regular searches, young male adults and teenagers need to get stopped and searched. I would not object to that if it saved lives."
Excerpts from the article:
" New measures are being used by police to search for knives using hand-held and walk-through metal detectors. ...
Sir Al said on BBC Breakfast: "There is a balance here. On the one hand for young people to feel safer by having the presence of the police - but on the other hand making sure the new powers don't create further antagonism by increased stopping and searching.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Rose Fitzpatrick said officers' work was intended to make young people feel safer, as well as actually making them safer....
Under the Metropolitan Police's plans announced this month, officers can search people without reasonable suspicion under Section 60 of the Public Order Act.
The first team of 15 officers has already been deployed to an unidentified London borough.
Another five to 10 teams will take to the capital over the next 10 days, and will target areas where intelligence suggests youths are more likely to carry weapons. "
